Table looks exactly pictured. Glass is very thick and tempered for safety. Top and cross-piece in back are manufactured wood, but look much like weathered wood (but easier to clean). Instructions were simple to follow--take the time to lay out all the pieces and familiarize yourself with the order they are used before diving in. Due to the weight of the glass, two people are a must for assembly.

Pros: Great value, simple assembly, very solid, can be used with many different decors
